Russian forces are actively digging underground tunnels in the left bank of the temporarily occupied Kherson region, as part of a shift towards a hybrid offensive strategy, according to the Chief of Staff of the 34th Marine Brigade. According to him, the underground tunnel networks now cover 20-30% of the area of the Left Bank. Russian forces are digging them in in areas where Ukraine's defense forces control the airspace, making it difficult for Russian forces to reach their positions above ground.
